Eclipse (57 page)

Katie and Audrey, Bella Penombra is a thing of beauty.

Heather, the Nexus rocks.

I can't mention all the amazing sites and their creators here,

but thank you very much to each of you.

Many thanks to my cold readers, Laura Cristiano, Michelle Vieira,

Bridget Creviston, and Kimberlee Peterson, for their invaluable input

and encouraging enthusiasm.

Every writer needs an independent bookstore for a friend;

I'm so grateful for my hometown supporters at Changing Hands Bookstore

in Tempe, Arizona, and especially to Faith Hochhalter,

who has brilliant taste in literature.

I am in your debt, rock gods of Muse, for yet another inspiring album.

Thank you for continuing to create my favorite writing music.

I am also grateful to all the other bands on my playlist

who help me through the writer's block, and to my new discoveries,

Ok Go, Gomez, Placebo, Blue October, and Jack's Mannequin.

Most of all, a gargantuan thank-you to all of my fans.

I firmly believe that my fans are the most attractive, intelligent,

exciting, and dedicated fans in the whole world.

I wish I could give you each a big hug and a Porsche 911 Turbo.
